AutoCAD Mechanical toolset provides commands to insert drawing borders and title blocks in the drawing area.
You can insert the drawing border at any stage of the design process. You specify the title block attributes, the paper format, and the scale. You can also specify the height and width of the drawing section and get AutoCAD Mechanical toolset to calculate the scale. If the geometry and annotations that must go into the drawing border are already drawn, you can use command line options to select them, rescale them and move them to the appropriate position within the drawing border.
Drawing borders and title blocks are derived from blocks stored in drawing files reserved for this purpose. By default drawing borders are in the folder acadm/gen/dwg/format and title blocks are in the folder acadm/gen/dwg/title (See related links). AutoCAD Mechanical toolset provides drawing files containing the drawing borders and title blocks that comply with the drafting standards that ship with it. If required you can customize them to suit your requirements.
If automatic property management is turned on, AutoCAD Mechanical toolset automatically places drawing borders and the title blocks on a layer reserved for them. By default this layer is named AM_BOR . You can turn this layer on or off with the AMLAYTIBLO (Title Block Layer On/Off) command. Disabling the AM_BOR layer is useful for plotting a concept print of your drawing or if you want to set only the Base Scale Factor for the drawing.
You can specify that the title block picks up information such as description from either assembly properties or a part reference. You can also import information for the border or title block from a specially formatted text file known as standard import files(*.tit files).
You can insert a revision line within a title block.
